If I could, I would marry this module in a blink. Mostly because it's free...

I bought this. Installed it, and couldn't make it work. I went to APISofts forum and asked. Promptly I got a response. The error was solved in no time and the error was entirely on my behalf.

It is one of the very best buys I have made through the Joomla Extension Directory. Awesome support, and awesome(and working) apps.

My only regret is that I don't have more than two thumbs on my hands to put up for these guys.

This particular piece of software just works. The people at APISoft really know what they are doing.

Professionalism to the bone. Keep it up guys!

I'm sorry to say this, but this is an awesome piece of software. The kind I wouldn't mind paying for. Good work!

Awesome is too weak a word to describe this software. The install is painless and it is lovely user friendly. I'm surprised that this is not a commercial version, but I am also happy it is not. This is a pearl to store securely on my backup harddrive.

Frontend User Article List
Just one thing I would like to add to the wishlist. The ability to choose which group that can publish - including the "normal" registered users(registered users get author rights automatical). That way this extension could be used for wikis, writer sites; general collaboration of information, etc., etc. There is a use for everything.

If I could marry a piece of software, this would be the one!!!

It has potential. I have some serious bugs both in front- and backend. What's worse is that they closed the community forum "due to spam", so basically there is no support. All in all - these bugs makes the application useless.

Google Maps Multipage
I remember a time, when the first TV remote controls came out. Hardly anyone could figure out how they worked due to very bad documentation; and even then it is wasn't easy. This software reminds me of those remotes.
But I gave it a chance. First thing that bugged me was not being able to remove the standard markers(which are there even when you copy with no markers). I'm sure that there is a way, but it wasn't an obvious one. Next was the use of categories of which, again, there is a logic behind - but not an obvious one.
What I have experienced here is a big piece of software that is not user friendly and half functional - but none the less functional. Any of the other less heavy mapping softwares does exactly the same and are more user friendly.
I would wish that there in the description of the product was level of use((Beginner, medium, advanced)like in the old times with the hacks) and whether or not the product required coding.
I rates it fair, although it is clear that the goals are big, but the product does not live up to the size on the user side.

Yes, that's true. If someone can't figure out how a TV remote control works, most likely they also can't figure out how this plugin works. ;-)

But nevertheless to the best of my knowledge this plugin currently runs flawlessly on a few thousand websites (got no major complaints so far), so this suggests the usability can't be so bad at all.

Anyway - you are right - I would recommend the level of skill necessary for successfully operating a Joomla! plugin should generally be marked with an icon showing (e.g.) a TV remote control (beginner), a sports-car (medium) or a 747-cockpit (advanced).

I have only one complaint. I can't figure out how to make several categories, but apart from that - it is an excellent piece of software and very smooth to install.

DC Slide Menu
I have tried EVERYTHING that is available of menu-systems. I had actually given up on finding a nice lean drop-down extension that was easy to handle - then I accidentally ran into this one.

1) No coding! YEAH!
2) Installation SMOOTH.
3) It's a module, so just activate it and attach your existing menu system you made in joomla.

It's 1-2-3 BAM! and you have exactly what is needed.

I am utterly thrilled after having tried all the others. This should be highlighted and marked and glorified for it's accessibility and friendliness. The line above about "having problem with the extension?" can be removed. You can not go wrong anywhere with this one.

A BIG applaud to dart-creations for giving this for free. Sometimes simple is just much better. These people should really make a business selling joomla stuff...

I would write more, but I want to go back and admire the awesomeness of my website, thanks to this extension.

This menu is indeed unique, but I wish I had written samples on "how to" make different kinds of menus. Documentation is there, but not sufficiently detailed. I managed to make a menu after experimenting on my own, but it messed up the layout of the page. I am working on trying to fix that.

I am looking forward to future releases. If developed further and polished - this software will be the only one you need. It would be great to have a community forum on this one. I'd be a volunteer to moderate such a forum for sure. I am sure that there are other people like me that would support this software as well. I can even provide some temporary space for such a forum.

As it is now - it is THE most powerful free menu-software out - I recommend it - if you have the patience to learn by yourself.
